Document Imaging

There is no question the primary source of the information processed for litigation today is electronic data. Nevertheless, paper continues to exist as a significant industry-spanning medium of data collection, sharing, and storing. For years now, Edox has offered comprehensive document management services to the legal community, seamlessly integrating paper histories into the digital realm. Digitizing documents- be it one box or a thousand- saves physical storage space, centralizes information for safety and accessibility, and creates highly manageable, searchable databases for efficient retrieval.

Vast experience enables our project mangers to determine simplified processes for more straightforward document jobs, and devise unique solutions to more complex projects. They maintain communication with imaging specialists and coders throughout the process to provide smart, accurate, comprehensive information and document management experiences.

Scanning and Coding

Our scanners and coders are armed with the most current tools and tricks of the trade to process documents rapidly. Scanned documents are saved in the most client-friendly format, be it PDF, TIFF, or BMP- just to name a few. Coding creates searchable fields to organize raw data, dramatically reducing retrieval time and effort. Coding for categories such as authorship, date, or recipient allows for not just a faster retrieval process, but also a far greater degree of relevance to your ultimate document set.

OCR

When a page of text is scanned into a computer without OCR software, all the computer sees is a bunch graphical bits, or an image. In other words, it has no idea that there is text on the page, much less what the text says. However, an edox OCR program can convert the characters on the page into a text document that can be read by a word processing program. Some of our more advanced OCR programs can even keep the formatting of the document in the conversion.

Coding

Edox utilizes “Code from Image”, which software (from technology partner Discover-e) was developed to allow case-specific document coding versatility without sacrificing accuracy.

Our coding services include:

  • Domestic coding
  • Off-Shore coding
  • Multi-Entry fields
  • Single entry fields
  • Data merge
  • Bates coding
  • Names mentioned
  • Key terms
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • Searchable PDF
  • Logical Document Unitization

Paper Blowbacks

Your scanned and coded electronic files can be converted back to paper at any time. Blowbacks are hard copy prints of documents stored electronically as images of original documents. But unlike traditional photocopies, paper blowbacks don’t suffer visual degradation and can be grouped and sorted in all sorts of ways. Edox has the capacity to deal with this sometimes paper-intensive process, offering another powerful tool for creating easily accessible electronic data, saving storage space, and producing high quality printouts on demand.
